Fight breaks out among parents at youth football gamePosted: Updated:
WICKENBURG, Ariz. -- A youth football game took a wild turn in the town of Wickenburg, west of Phoenix, when a fight broke out among parents, coaches and children.
Many people got hurt during the Sept. 29. melee including four children, one of whom was taken to the hospital in an ambulance.
Prescott Valley resident Roe Minor was taping his son's football game before the fight broke out.
On the video you can see a man wearing a t-shirt with the other team's logo on it approach Minor.
The man on the tape asked the father to leave per the referee's request.
Minor said he had no idea who the man was and didn't understand why he was being asked to leave.
A staff member from the rival team told 3TV over the phone that Minor was verbally abusing the referees and that's why he was asked to pack his things and head out.
Minor denied harassing the referees.
When the father refused to leave, voices got loud and then you can hear shouting. The fight happened outside of the camera's view.
Minor said he was not to blame for the fight.
His wife, Wendy Bodeman, said she was assaulted during the fight and has filed a police report with the Wickenburg Police Department.
Sgt. Owen Black with the Wickenburg Police Dept. said in all of his 26 years in law enforcement he's never heard of something like this happening at a children's football game.
We're told this in an ongoing investigation and it could take two weeks to complete.
Parents from both teams agree this fight should have never happened.
The president of the Northern AZ Youth Football, Becky Allred, sent this statement to 3TV:
"The NAYF was organized to give the youth of our small towns an opportunity to play football and to cheer. Our main concern is for the safety of our children; for our children to have a positive experience; and to have fun. Parents unauthorized to be on the field or a parent who has been asked to leave by the referees will be expected to leave and adhere to the rules of NAYF. Any coach who does not put the children's safety first will also be suspended. We are following up with all necessary avenues to ensure a safe environment for these children."
Five players and three coaches have been suspended from the team for which Minor's son plays.
Minor, his wife and son are not allowed to attend anymore games.

Amazon collaborated with WICS on February 25 and hosted an info session. Space was limited so only students that RSVPed were allowed to enter. Luckily, WICS tried their best to accommodate as many people as possible. WICS managed to allow about 100 students to listen in on the info session so that they could learn more about working and applying to Amazon.
Verizon Info Session
On February 18, WICS hosted a Verizon Info Sessions. Female engineers from Verizon came and talked about the opportunities at Verizon and what it's like to work at Verizon. The first half of the info session was a mixer focused mainly on more personal socialization, while the second half was an info session about Verizon with a Q&A at the end. Over 30 people showed up and learned a lot about Verizon!
ICS Career Panel
On Wednesday January 14, the ICS clubs teamed up and invited various alumni from different years to tell stories of their success. Over 50 people showed up, listening to Sarah Flores from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Binh Dang from MeridianLink, Albert Wong from Red Hat, Chris Wong from Mirth Corporation, Angeline Phan Gray from Emdeon/TC3 Health, Lynn Acosta from OpenText, and Corey Katoul from Demonstranda share what they learned from college and what they thought was most important in the future in the real field. Make sure to check out the rest of the events this year.
Facebook Women Panel
Facebook Women Panel
by Nikita Thakore
In Week 5 on Monday, November 3rd, WICS was proud to host a Facebook Women Panel, wherein a recruiter and five engineers from Facebook took the time to answer questions about their experiences working for the world's biggest social network. Their backgrounds ranged from developing Facebook's Android apps, to being on the iOS Messenger team, to working on a secret, still-developing Facebook application. It was a great opportunity for attendees to get a glimpse of what jobs at Facebook have to offer, while enjoying delicious food, courtesy of Baja Fresh.
When asked what they enjoyed at Facebook, the ladies unanimously remarked that they enjoyed the freedom to work on projects of their choice, and the creativity of their work environments. "Everyone all has the same title – Software Engineer," Lynn explained, "so it's very easy to go up to someone and ask them anything. The people at Facebook are really humble."
The team also highly praised Facebook's Engineering Boot Camp program, a six-week program designed to introduce new engineers to the company's code base. Jess, a former intern who recently went full-time, noted that it greatly helped her to figure out what she wanted to work on, while Kathy described it as "the best summer camp ever!"
The panel ended promptly at seven, due to the engineers' having to catch their flights back home, and the night closed with attendees being able to submit their resumes and pick up some Facebook swag. We had a great turnout, with over 60 people attending, and overall, the event was a terrific experience for everyone involved. Hopefully, it's indicative of the popularity of the panels yet to come!
WITI Comes to UCI
Written by: Gurveen Sekhon
On Thursday, April 17th WITI, Women in Technology International, hosted a panel of technology experts that informed the audience on software delivery methods. The key speakers were some really successful and passionate women. The speakers consist of Diane Cochran, a software engineer at Blizzard, Kristine A. Hayes Munson, an IT leader with a successful record in completing projects in finance, printing, and construction industries, and Melissa Meyer, the lead producer for Battle.net at Blizzard.
Some of the issues they addressed are the pros and cons of using agile for building products, how traditional companies address 'time to market' barriers when Compliance/Safety is a concern, and the best ways to track and measure development progress against goals. Six of our WICS members volunteered at the event and got to attend the event for free! WITI provided a large amount of delicious food from Gina's Pizza and raffled out cool prizes such as books on Agile development, hand bags, and much more!
WICS will be working with WITI again in the future, so be on the lookout for more events hosted by WITI and WICS!
WICS Attends CWIC SoCal!
WICS members got the opportunity to attend the Celebration of Women in Computing in Southern California (CWIC-SoCal) Conference held on April 5th and 6th. WICS provided attendees reimbursement for signup fees as well as free transportation!
The event kicked off with a welcoming ceremony that consisted of talks from inspirational women in the computing field. The talks were held by a broad scope of women all united by the core concept of computing. The backgrounds of these women ranged from industry to research. In fact, Gloria Mark, a professor from the Informatics department of UCI also held a talk of her research of multitasking.
The WICS members learned about grad school, what these speakers do, and about women in the tech field in general. There was also a Q/A panel with company representatives as well as a mentorship panel. At the end of the first day, CWIC-SoCal also held an Academic/Career Fair with quite a few company booths, swag, and networking opportunities. That night ended with a Lego Challenge and a game of CS jeopardy. The winners of the lego competition, 5 groups of 5, all received $25 Amazon gift cards, congrats to one of the WICS's teams that won!
All in all, it was a very exciting weekend that consisted of fun and networking with other women students and professionals in computing. Next year, WICS will be hosting init(Together) once again, stay tuned and don't miss out!
WICS Co-hosts Google Panel
Around 62 people signed in on Thursday, January 16th, for the Google Panel. WICS invited female Googlers to talk about what it is like to work there, capabilities needed for applying, as well as ways of applying. One of the speakers that came, trains other Googlers to interview applications and gave WICS some really good interview advice.
The two speakers talked about how Google is doing their best in decreasing the gender inequality. There are many benefits to working at Google such as flexible schedules, maternity and paternity leave, and even asking for promotions. Due to the limited space in the room, many people were unable to attend the panel. However, Google set up a booth outside the DBH building the next day for further questions and advice for people who were unable to go to the panel. Apply for Google by going on google.com/jobs/students!
WICS would like to give a big thanks to the recruiter, Alec Fox, for organizing this event.

Wasden Obtains $625,000 Drug Pricing Settlement with Mylan
(Boise) – Prescription drug manufacturers Mylan Laboratories, Inc. and Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. have agreed to pay $625,000 in a legal settlement resolving Idaho's claims relating to the "average wholesale prices" reported by the companies, Attorney General Lawrence Wasden said.
Idaho Medicaid provides health care services, including prescription drugs, to low-income Idahoans. By law, Idaho Medicaid must reimburse pharmacies at the "estimated acquisition cost" of the drug. Idaho Medicaid primarily uses "average wholesale price," as reported by drug manufacturers, as a basis for determining this amount.
If the manufacturer reports an inflated or false average wholesale price for a drug, taxpayers can pay too much for that drug through Medicaid reimbursements. For example, one unit of Mylan's pharmaceutical product, Bumetanide, a generic version of Bumex, had a published average wholesale price of $0.752 in 2003, but Wasden's investigation revealed an actual average wholesale price of $0.191 in 2003. This results in a 293% difference between the published price and the actual price.
"The publishing of false drug prices harms taxpayers and the State," Attorney General Wasden said. "My office has investigated and litigated this matter and what we uncovered is that in a very large number of instances, drug manufacturers reported false and inflated prices for their drugs."
The $625,000 settlement is intended to reimburse taxpayers for the State of Idaho's share of the excessive prices Idaho Medicaid paid for prescription drugs as a result of inflated average wholesale price reporting. More than $460,000 will be deposited in the State's General Fund to be appropriated by the Idaho Legislature. $50,000 will go to the consumer protection account to reimburse the Attorney General for investigative and legal costs.
The settlement with Mylan has been approved by the Fourth District Court in Ada County. The company admitted no liability or wrongdoing.
"This settlement addresses the harm incurred by Idaho's taxpayers and the State," Attorney General Wasden said. "It should stop the reporting of false and misleading drug prices and provide the State significant financial relief. This settlement is good for Idaho because it successfully resolves this dispute without the need for further, costly litigation."
Since 2005, Wasden has resolved 13 average wholesale price matters with drug manufacturers, including this settlement, resulting in more than $17.2 million recovered. Three average wholesale price cases, naming 9 other drug manufacturers, are still pending.

text: Will governments negotiate an agreement on reducing carbon emissions at the December 2009 UN Climate Change Conference? In this video interactive, economists Nicholas Stern and Michael Grubb, along with European Commissioner Janez Potočnik, discuss their views on prospects for a global climate deal at the United Nations Climate Change Conference, to be held in Copenhagen in December 2009. These interviews were conducted by McKinsey's Matt Hirschland in Brussels on January 26, 2009. Watch the video, or read the transcript below. Interactive Prospects for a global deal on climate change: Three European views Will governments negotiate an agreement at the UN Climate Change Conference? Open interactive popup Nicholas Stern: We have to make the agreement, which will guide the world economy after Kyoto, guide the international understandings on climate change after Kyoto. If we miss it, we will undermine confidence in the carbon markets, which will be of vital importance in getting this whole set of investments—which are necessary—going. So, 2009 is a vital year. What we see is the biggest technological opportunity that we've had for a very long time—as big as the railways, as big as electricity, as big as the motorcar, and most recently, information technology. It's the opportunity to go for low-carbon growth. And we understand, roughly speaking, what technologies are needed. Some of them will be very quick, like insulating houses, promoting energy efficiency, and that will put unemployed construction workers back into work now, this year. Others, like bringing forward infrastructure investment, take a little longer. Others like R&D have a still further lead time. But we have to put these kinds of packages together. To take the opportunities of the kind I described, there are a number of things that we have to overcome. One is the idea that the economic crisis takes precedence over the climate crisis. That's just confusion. That just misses the point about how we can put our policies on these two things together in a very constructive way. So we can be much more energy efficient. We can insulate our homes and get unemployed construction workers back into work. Those are the kinds of ways in which we can put things together. So to say that first one and then the other is just analytical confusion. We have to look at what's involved in doing both and see and recognize how one can support the other. So that's one kind of objection that has to be overcome. A second one is that there are always collections of vested interests, people who have a vested interest in the high-carbon economy. And that's not just the oil producers. It's also the people who make the cars, the people who are driving the coal industry, and so on. And they will understandably ask, "Well, what does all this mean for me?" Well, it means reallocation. It means that we'll be shifting away from those heavily polluting kinds of activities. That's the point. There would be resistance from those who are benefiting from deforestation. We have to stop it. So there are bound to be people whose activities are threatened by these kinds of policies. Now, the answer to that is to be constructive, to help with carbon capture and storage through markets for carbon; to promote development activities which do not put such pressure on the forests; to promote the retooling of the car industry so that the less-polluting cars become cheaper to produce and the demand for those cars starts to appear. Thirdly, we really have to show developing countries—those of us who live in the rich world—that we ourselves mean business, that we're not just asking them to do things and not doing things ourselves. In that discussion, we have to ask how we can support them in moving to a path of low-carbon growth. They recognize that that's essential, but there's nothing that they can see as a model. So we have to, indeed, provide examples as fast as we can but also help them through finance, for example, from trading schemes, through sharing of technology, through supporting the fight against deforestation. So those are the three areas, I think, where I would place the strongest emphasis in overcoming what are genuine concerns by people who recognize the need for change but ask about the implications of change for them. And good policy helps to deal with those kinds of issues in a collaborative and supportive way. It's not there's an opportunity to do it now. It's that there are actual, real dangers in not doing it now—huge dangers in delay. [President] Obama is very clear on the challenges that we have. He's been talking very clearly about the need for a green stimulus. He's been talking very clearly about the scale of cuts which the US should commit to: 80 percent reductions between 1990 and 2050. Europe continues to move forward. China is now discussing its 12th five-year plan, starting in January 2011. And President Hu Jintao has argued that low-carbon growth must be a key theme, the key theme, in that plan. We are seeing change in the world. The challenge is to move that change fast enough. I don't know if we'll move it fast enough, but at least the understanding of the hurry and the pressure, I think, is increasing in the political leadership around the world.Michael Grubb: I think there's quite a few big steps that need to be taken between now and Copenhagen. And that is still against a backdrop of my expectations being, say, a bit lower than some of the commentators out there. I mean, I think that there's no question the US election has changed the atmosphere. It's raised tremendous hopes—arguably, tremendous hopes lying on the shoulders of one certain new president. And the problem is this is actually a very complicated issue as well as a really tough politically one. And he has an awful lot of other things to worry about. The US system overall is going to be stretched. So, I think the idea that the US will ride in like a sort of white knight and save the situation is kind of a bit far-fetched. What it has done is it's reinvigorated the sense that at least the world's talking—that everybody's talking to each other—and, by in large, that all the major countries want to find solutions. In terms of critical stakes, I think I would put two big ones before any others; one of which is that currently we've got the really odd situation where we've got an ongoing political process to try to set emission targets for most of the industrialized world and a separate political process with the US sort of indicating it's probably willing to negotiate a target, but it's not clear what that could be or remotely how it could get it through the political system in time for Copenhagen. There's huge reluctance to set a target globally and then try to tell the US Congress, because it doesn't work that way around terribly well. So, I think the biggest thing is for the US to officially say it will rejoin the global group of industrialized countries that set quantified caps post-2012; and that it will sign up to the majority of the architecture involved in that and to some of the mechanisms behind that, including some of the flexibility. And that last bit's also important because that's where you get the international investment flows to help some of the poorer countries, you know, avoid some of the carbon lock-in. So, that's a very big one. The other big one, intimately bound up with that, is: where's China going? What will China really put on the table? Clearly, it cannot stay in the same position as the whole of the rest of G77. There's got to be more differentiation. And what are different parts of the world going to sign up to here? And that's, politically, a much bigger hurdle than most people realize. So, you know, those are the two big steps that I would say first. A lot of people are wondering how the financial crisis is going to hit the climate change agenda. To be honest, I still find it very hard to read. You know, the easy thing to say is, "Well, it will distract everyone's attention—much less willingness to spend money, et cetera." Those are all true. Those are all very important. They're going to make life more difficult. And I think particularly, just this distraction of senior-level political capital away from the climate issue onto other things. But it is a lot more complex than that. I mean, first of all, don't underestimate the power of institutional processes. There are already some in train that will require governments to send top diplomats, top officials to a crazy agenda of meetings this year—and to come back at the end of the year with a deal signed off by heads of state. You know, those processes had their momentum. They'll continue. There's a lot of work already—ground work—that's been done. And I think the joker in the pack is how the argument plays out about public expenditure as a way out of the recession—because we are unquestionably seeing politicians making the link, feeling under pressure to spend public money. How do they justify spending public money? Well, on something that's good that the public wants, the world wants: green expenditure, jobs in the construction industry. You know, there is a genuine story to be told there. And, like it or not, the climate issue does require a mix of public and private investment. And I think governments are going to find it easier to justify some of the public expenditure required, ironically, if it's tagged with a green label. That said, overall willingness to spend government capital is going to be very constrained. So, it's actually a matter of dovetailing. Can governments stitch these two big stories together so the solutions basically overlap a lot? I think the question of how business is looking at the climate change agenda is quite hard to read because it's quite schizophrenic in itself. I think what we see is a lot of companies—and not just recently, but for many years—who have been saying that this is a big, strategic challenge. But there's going to be winners as well as losers. We want to be amongst the winners. That requires, you know, stepping ahead of the game. We've seen constituents of business leaders emerge calling for stronger government action as well. Because, you know, actually, the kind of industries who quite like for other reasons to be stepping ahead realize there's not very far they can go unless there are regulations which impose similar costs on others. But there's definitely a lot of progressive force in industries. On the other hand, what you also see is a time of retrenchment because of the credit crunch. And obviously, when rubber hits the road in terms of specific legislative proposals like the EU package, well, industries are going to lobby for what they can get. And they're going to get as many free allowances as they can get. And that's, kind of, what we're there for. At the end of the day, businesses are there to make money. And they'll be very constrained of how much they're going to step outside that. So, you get this really schizophrenic attitude—including amongst companies within themselves. But, certainly, between companies in the same sector will come out and say different things. Or they'll say one thing, and then you look at their investment portfolio and it doesn't tally at all. So, I think business is schizophrenic about this. I think it will remain schizophrenic. I think there's probably quite a few business leaders who, in private, would be urging a new US administration—and other administrations—to get much tougher than they would really admit in public.Janez Potočnik: The success is obviously getting a global agreement. I think it is obviously clear to everybody that this is a global challenge and we are breathing the same air and we don't have any other choice than to deal with that together. But it's also obvious that some of us are more responsible for this situation than the others. But that does not change the fact that, if we don't work together—developed and developing [countries]—if we don't commit to the same goal, then we will certainly not change the reality in which we are stuck. So that's broadly what we would like. We would like that, in Copenhagen, we would get a global agreement, in which major things would be agreed about how we deal with the questions of the future. I think it's from everything: from understanding it, mitigating it, accommodating it, technologies, and so on. These are many of the issues. But certainly, there will be the issue of developing countries and developing technology for them. And I think many of these are commonly known. So, I do believe that climate change, that this crisis, is certainly more of an opportunity for the changes which we try to do. But we have to be aware that we have systematically and consistently worked on the issues, some of which are certainly on our agenda for years—which are global climate change, energy, security. And though the financial crisis and economic crisis arrived, nothing has changed. None of these issues disappeared. They are still there on our plate. And when we do the measures, which are inside the short- or midterm addressing of the economic crisis—like stimulating investment or our consumption—we have to be careful that this is done in a way that, when we come out of the crisis, we are actually up to the challenges which we have consistently and systematically discussed before. There is no single way through that. So, you have to take care of the market mechanisms: cost, price; then you have to take care of regulation; then, for example, public procurement. It's an important part of the deal. All the while you have to keep an eye also on the areas for which I'm responsible: technology, development, research. They are an important part of the answer. So, all of that has to be dealt with in a consistent way under somebody who is in a policy-creation position. All of these issues have to be very clearly also in our focus when we try to prepare ourselves for the future, for the discussion in Copenhagen. Of course, we need international cooperation and, of course, relations between developed and developing countries if you want a kind of climate change diplomacy which is behind everything. It's part of the thinking and the comprehensive approach which one would need to do. In the technology area, there are just as many questions. I think energy efficiency is of course one of the utmost short-term focuses because it is obvious that it is the cheapest way and the fastest way to get some of the solutions which we would like. It is obvious that in the short run, we have to focus also on regulation and market conditions—and, of course, on the technologies which today are already developed, but some of them can't reach the market, because they are simply too costly. It's also a question of energy prices. My personal belief is that all these changes which we talk about are hard to be done in a low-energy price kind of a system. But we can more boldly think of what technologies can help us bridging some of the troubles which we have today; from CCS [(carbon, capture, and storage)]—which is a bit closer, I would say, in time span—to fusion, which is probably the most distant. But there are many things in between, connected to various renewable solutions or questions which are related to the hydrogen fuel cell center, all that. We work on all that because we simply believe that there is no magical solution at this very point. You can't put, as people used to say, all your eggs in one basket. So, we simply spread them out. We believe that we have to work practically in all these directions with enough attention. Getting an agreement is a win, not getting an agreement is a loss. Meaning that, everybody around the table has to understand that these negotiations will be difficult; that they will have to step into each other's shoes and try to understand what are their problems. But I hope that the understanding from all is that we are actually living in the same world and have no choice, so we have to deal with climate change—and we have to deal with it now. It's a one-shot chance. If we miss this chance, we really don't know when there will be a second one with that level of opportunity. So, Copenhagen should be a success.

The 60 Sq Foot cork roll we will ship to you is 3 Ft wide and 20 Ft long. You can order any combination of rolls you need. We have various configurations of R60 all made in the same factory and the same thickness; the only difference is size of the rolls
- Our Premium Cork underlayment is 1/4 inch (6mm = 0.236 inches) thick and is sold in full rolls in various sizes
- R-Value = 0.80 for 1/4" thickness or 3.10 per inch
- Indoor use only
- Recommended for tile or stone installations, thinset directly over the heating element on top of cork just like normal subfloor.
- Not recommended for shower floors or outdoor use
- Not recommended to be covered with leveler under engineered hardwood floors. If used with Wood flooring, minimum leveler thickness should be 3/8 to 1/2 inch to prevent cracking
Our Premium Cork underlayment is 1/4 inch (6mm) thick and is sold in full rolls in 2 sizes: 60 and 200 sq ft.
You can then cut the cork to fit any configuration, as it cuts easily with a utility knife.
Manufactured by Amorim Industrial Solutions, the pioneer of cork underlayment for sound control, thermal insulation and protection against stress cracks, our products have been in use since the 1980's.
The R60 (6mm = .236 about 1/4 inch) is a thermal barrier as well as an acoustical barrier and will also prevent stress cracks in the tile floor. With the highest density on the market for any cork underlayment making it a very durable product, R60 will not "give" causing cracks to form. It is Safe, tested, and designed for use under tile floors. Inferior cork products are often from a different species of Cork and made in China and require use of epoxy grout; but NOT AcoutiCORK R60.
The cork is adhered to the clean & dry concrete slab using either Thinset Mortar (preferred & best method - the same thinset used to install the tile) or an approved adhesive (see instructions) With an R-Value of 3.1 per inch the cork acts as a "thermal Break" and slows the heat transfer into a concrete slab sub floor when placed on top of the slab. The heating elements are then installed on TOP of the cork, and secured with tape or glue and then covered with thinset mortar while installing your tile or stone floor. Cork Insulating underlay cannot be used in a shower floor or outdoors.
Our Cork is specifically designed and engineered for use under tile or stone floors. It's tested and there are hundreds of millions of Square feet installed in successful installations worldwide. Why risk using an inferior cork to save a few dollars? Choose R-60 from Warm Your Floor.

Why Helps
What can R60 do for YOUR floor?
Thermal Insulation! AcoustiCORK R60 is known for its ability to add thermal efficiency to most types of floors. It is particularly useful when used under floor heating systems, as R60 helps reduce energy consumption and increase efficiency / lower costs. R60 Thermal resistance provides increased efficiency and is a Sustainable NATURAL PRODUCT
Unlike most of its synthetic alternative competitors the AcoustiCORK R60 underlayment has the ability to keep its acoustic and thermal insulation performance over many years. The physical structure of cork, with nearly 200 million completely sealed air filled cells per cubic inch makes it a very effective insulating material. This same physical structure also provides cork with the ability to be repeatedly compressed and yet recover nearly 100% of its original shape and size.
Also, don't be misled by INFERIOR CORK products sold online for a little less money; don't compromise the integrity of your floor to save a few dollars. Insist on a recognized manufacturer with the history Test results to back up their product.

The 5L (Liberty, Literature, Leaves, Lobster, and Love) Tour
Part 3: Concord Cemeteries
I love old cemeteries. I love wandering through the graves, reading headstones, imagining what the deceased were like when walking the earth. Worn gravestones contain religious references, eerie symbols of death, and truthful descriptions of the deceased's life. Garish monuments rivaling those of Egyptian tombs peer out from dark, dank corners.

What's more: last Friday, Judge Koh placed a ban on sales of one of Samsung's phones, the Galaxy Nexus.
The bad news for Samsung: if it doesn't prevail when it takes on Apple in court on July 30, both products may never see the light of day again in the United States. The good news for Samsung: newer models of both products are unaffected by the patent dispute and a loss to Apple probably won't have a material impact on Samsung's finances.
But there's bad news for everybody here: as Reuters' Erin Geiger Smith notes, the type of pre-trial injunctions that Judge Koh slapped on Samsung's products are rare, signaling that the patent wars that are sucking billions of dollars annually out of the United States economy may only get worse.
Case in point: Google's Nexus 7 tablet was announced last week, and already Nokia is reportedly claiming that it infringes some of its patents. According to The Inquirer, Nokia isn't expected to seek an injunction against the Nexus 7 (a la Apple and Samsung), but does want Google and its manufacturing partner ASUS to cough up cash for a license.
If this all seems patently absurd, that's because it is. Forget about non-practicing patent trolls; some of the largest, most innovative technology companies in the world have taken a bad situation and seem intent on making it worse.
Fortunately, there are some glimmers of hope. A high-profile judge recently tossed a patent infringement lawsuit filed against Motorola Mobility by Apple. Calling Apple's claims "silly," Judge Richard Posner of the Seventh US Circuit Court of Appeals stated that the patent system was in "chaos" and suggested that serious reform was needed.
That reform, of course, isn't something that a court can deliver. But lawsuit-happy corporations like Apple would probably do well to listen to Posner because the current situation isn't just "silly", it's stupid. In many cases, the potential damages in these cases are so inconsequential (if they exist at all), and the distractions so high, that the lawsuits themselves have become the business world's version of a professional fly-swatting contest.

This is serious bad news for Samsung . It is missing on a huge market.

The vitality of the University Libraries' collections depends upon continuous collection development and careful collection management. To enhance the Libraries' value and utility, librarians must carefully maintain collections. One important aspect of this process is the deselection (withdrawal) of outdated materials that no longer support the mission of the University or the goal of the University Libraries' collections.
The process of deselecting materials requires as much care as the process of selection. It is important to view deselection within the broader context of the University Libraries' collection development policies. Deselection is a consultative endeavor between librarians and faculty when questions arise.
Titles no longer relevant to current curricular or research needs and therefore not within the scope of the Libraries' current collection development policies may be removed from the collection or subscriptions may be cancelled. Titles that contain obsolete information, such as legal or medical reference works, may be deselected because the information they contain is out-of-date, invalid, inaccurate, or incomplete. Titles not used by current faculty and students may be deselected.
Copies or editions of titles may be deselected to minimize redundancy of holdings. Individual titles containing information found elsewhere in the collection may also be deselected for this purpose.
Materials may be deselected due to poor physical condition. Many current newspapers are routinely retained for stated periods and then discarded or replaced in electronic format or microform. Deteriorating books are evaluated for preservation and withdrawn if necessary. Replacement copies are purchased as appropriate and available.

The Evolution of the TV Nerd, From Potsie to Urkel to Abed
See how the archetype went from high-water pants and taped glasses to the No. 1 sitcom on TV.
It feels like the nerd is as old as time, but it's a relatively young term and younger phenomenon. The first documented appearance of the word was in Dr. Seuss's If I Ran the Zoo, but it would be decades before the classic nerd would materialize: smart, if not too smart; socially awkward; obsessive; glasses (often with tape); ill-fitting clothing; into sci-fi and/or computers; high and/or nasally voice. However, over the last 40 years or so the archetype has evolved beyond the Revenge of the Nerds stereotype into something more nuanced. And TV comedies had a lot to do with that. In celebration of the Inspector Spacetime–obsessed Abed, whose Community competed in today's Sitcom Smackdown quarterfinals, we present the evolutionary ladder of the TV nerd, from its earliest appearance on Happy Days through Screech, Carlton, Lisa Simpson, and The Big Bang Theory.
1974: Potsie, Happy Days
Happy Days is credited for first popularizing the word nerd, and it was usually directed at Potsie, even if by today's standards he doesn't seem like much of one. (If anything, the more awkward Ralph Malph feels nerdier in retrospect.) Potsie was fairly square, but other than the Fonz, so were all of Richie Cunningham's friends (and Richie); plus, he came off as a heartthrob when he'd sing with his band. He and Ralph were more goofy idiots, in the Rosencrantz and Guildenstern vein, than modern nerds. It says a lot about how far the nerd has come that at one time it just meant "Not the Fonz." By that standard, everyone's a nerd.
1978: "The Nerds," Saturday Night Live
Bill Murray and Gilda Radner's nerds (Todd DiLaMuca and Lisa Loopner) were the real deal. They had the look and the voice and, most important, the personality. Murray explained what was so special about them in the SNL oral history Live From New York: "No one ever saw nerds enjoy themselves, really get funny. You never saw what really tickled them." Their nerds weren't just cheap jokes — they had real heart. It paved the way for TV nerds we care about.
1988: Screech, Good Morning, Miss Bliss/Saved by the Bell
Screech had a lot of the classic nerd traits, in that he was super smart and not very cool. He was also very comfortable and aware that he was a nerd, which was new. What he brought to the nerd game more than anything was a sort of weirdness and eccentricity. (You know, like how he just had a robot.) It's a quality that was incorporated in the many nerds that would come after him.
1989: Urkel, Family Matters
Family Matters was not supposed to be "The Urkel Show." He was going to be a one-off character, but he was just too good. He was every single nerd trope pushed to the max: suspenders, high-water pants, glasses, clumsy, nasal voice, awkward, super smart, obsessive, with an unrequited love. His popularity definitely encouraged more and more nerd characters to show up on television.
1989: Lisa, The Simpsons
Unlike the rest of this list, Lisa is very young. She likes being smart and successful, but still has to come to terms with being a nerd. Before The Simpsons, no one really captured how isolating intelligence can feel, especially when you're younger. It's why "HOMR," the Emmy-winning season-twelve episode in which Homer removes a crayon from his nose/brain and becomes smart, is so brilliant. For once, Lisa got to know what it was like to have someone who understood her. As Homer wrote in his touching note to Lisa, explaining why he decided to become dumb again: "I'm taking the coward's way out. But before I do, I just wanted to say being smart made me appreciate just how amazing you really are."
1990: Carlton, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
Carlton is closer to Potsie than any of these other nerds. He is exceedingly square, especially when compared to the Fonz-like Will Smith. He did well in school and, in general, just tried too hard. It's not that nerds specifically always like Tom Jones, but his obsession with the singer, when mixed with his corny, iconic dance, was as nerdy as it gets. In general, he helped move the nerd away from the dominant glasses-and-high-pants aesthetic. You no longer needed the Loopner wardrobe to be a nerd.
1994: Ross, Friends
Ross really loved science and dinosaurs and karate ("ka-ra-tay"). He was also kind of a drip. The difference is Ross got the girl, consistently. Ross became TV's first nerd sex symbol and pioneered the inevitable geek-chic craze. He showed what happens when nerdy kids grow up and move to New York and kind of become cool. Many, many shows today have formerly nerdy characters who are able to hang with classically cool people while maintaining their obsessions (à la Parks and Recreation's Ben Wyatt or New Girl's Jess Day).
2000: The Geeks, Freaks and Geeks
By this point, it wasn't new to see a bunch of nerds hang out with each other on TV; however, usually they would be just in the background while cool people did stuff. Freaks and Geeks put the audience inside that clique. Like Lisa, the geeks didn't want to be nerds (they pined to be welcomed by the cool kids), but they could not change who they were and were tortured for it. But at least they had each other. Also, their playing of Dungeons and Dragons celebrated the nitty-gritty of nerd culture like no show really had.
2007: Everyone But the Blonde Lady, Big Bang Theory
If you want to talk about the mainstreaming of nerd culture, here you go. Big Bang Theory is a show about nerds who like nerd things, and the sitcom is insanely popular. These are nerds who don't have to get cooler as the get older; they are kings of their castles by being as nerdy as ever. It's a culmination of all these years spent laughing at/with nerds.
2009: Abed, Community
Some might argue that The Big Bang Theory represents the watering down of being a nerd. It takes the most popular touchstones of the culture but glosses over the actual personality behind it. Abed is the real deal. Abed is more than a kinda-sorta awkward guy who likes Star Wars; he's hardwired to be obsessive, to be incapable of truly relating to his friends. Abed represents the most complicated, dark, and honest portrayal of a nerd ever in television and film. And ultimately we wouldn't be able to get such a rich nerd character if it weren't for all the nerd boundaries the previous nerds broke down.

Catholic University law school Professor Mark Rienzi is part of a legal team that this week filed a brief at the Supreme Court on behalf of Hobby Lobby Stores, a family-owned, privately held national retail chain. The lawyers are urging the high court to review a recent decision from the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit that once again delves into the contentious issue of whether government health care mandates may force employers to violate their religious beliefs.
Rienzi's involvement in the case comes through the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, where he is senior counsel.
Last year, on the grounds of religious objection, Hobby Lobby sued the federal government over the Health and Human Services Department mandate that the company's owners had to provide the contraceptive "morning-after" Plan B and "week-after" Ella One pills as part of health benefits available to its employees.
The company lost the first round of its legal challenge, but last summer the Tenth Circuit Court ruled in favor of Hobby Lobby, granting it an exemption from the federal directives.
Last month, the federal government filed an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court. Now, Hobby Lobby and its legal team are in the unusual position of agreeing with the government in urging certiorari review of a decision that can already be considered a victory for the company.
Although Hobby Lobby won at the Tenth Circuit, the company and the government share a belief that the case raises very important issues of religious freedom law, and that it makes sense for the Supreme Court to answer those questions now.
Former United States Solicitor General Paul Clement has joined Rienzi and the Becket Fund legal team as co-counsel for Hobby Lobby.
The case is Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health and Human Services, et al, v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc.

He has no legs and no eyesight, but Marine Cpl. Matthew Bradford has four more years of military service ahead of him after becoming the first blind double-amputee to re-enlist.
The rifleman was injured in January 2007 in Iraq when a roadside bomb exploded right under him, the San Antonio Express-News reported.
But after years at the Center for the Intrepid, a privately funded, cutting-edge rehabilitation center, Bradford, 23, has learned to walk with prosthetic limbs and navigate without his vision, and he only regrets that he can't return to combat duty in Iraq, the paper reported.
Instead the Kentucky native will head to Camp Lejeune, N.C., where he will work with other wounded Marines in hopes of helping them cope with anger, depression and other issues.
"I'm paving the road for the rest of them who want to stay in but think they can't," he told the Express-News. "I'm ready to get back to work."

Nasus Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Nasus is a very strong champion, especially when played this way, you can get a lot of kills and a lot of money because of his amazing farming abilities. This build will help you on the way to a Nasus that everyone should fear.
Nasus' skills:Soul Eater - Nasus drains his foe's spiritual energy, giving him a natural 10/15/20% lifesteal. The lifesteal value increments at levels 1,6, and 11.
Awesome passive for a dps'er. It also gives you a lot of staying power in a lane. And it allows you to get no lifesteal items, or get them really late, which is usually not the case with dps'ers.
Siphoning Strike (SS) - Nasus strikes his foe, dealing damage and increasing the power of his future Siphoning Strikes if he slays his target.
Nasus's next attack will deal an additional 30/50/70/90/110 damage (+). Siphoning Strike permanently gains 2 damage whenever it kills an enemy.
9/8/7/6/5 seconds
20/25/30/35/40 Mana
This is you main skill using this build. It will make you devastate your target with a simple skill. In combination with a Sheen or Trinity Force this skill will deal a lot of damage. Late game, when you have an Infinity and you get a critical SS you will be amazed how much damage this 40 mana, 5 sec cooldown skill can do. You will easily get a 600-800 damage crit from it. And in a really good game, these crits can go up to 1000!
Wither - Nasus ages his target, decelerating their movement and attack speeds over 5 seconds.
Nasus ages his target, slowing their movement and attack speed by 35% and reducing it further by 3/6/9/12/15% each second for 5 seconds.
15/15/15/15/15 seconds
100/100/100/100/100 Mana
Fairly simple skill, though very necessary for chases and also escapes. This is Nasus' only slow ability, he doesn't have a stun or snare. However, it is one of the best slowing abilities around, since it has a 5 second duration and will really stop your target from getting anywhere quickly.
Spirit Fire (SF) - Nasus unleashes a delayed spirit flame at a location, dealing damage and reducing the armor of enemies who stand on it.
After a brief delay, the target area becomes desecrated. Enemies in the area have their armor reduced by 20/25/30/35/40 and are dealt 20/34/48/62/76 (+0.2) magic damage each second.
12/12/12/12/12 seconds
70/85/100/115/130 Mana
Now here's a skill that can get you money. Max this out ASAP. It will obliterate an entire creep wave making it a great tower defense or pushing tool. In team fights a good SF can make a huge difference. 40 armor reduction is a LOT. And it will make your SS hurt even more.
Fury of the Sands - Nasus unleashes a mighty sandstorm that batters nearby enemies. While the storm rages, he gains additional Health and drains nearby enemies' max health and converts it into bonus damage for the duration of the skill.
Nasus becomes empowered in the sandstorm, gaining 300/450/600 health. While the storm rages, he drains 3/4/5 (+0.01)% of nearby enemies' health each second (240 damage max per second) and converts it into bonus attack damage.
120/120/120 seconds
150/150/150 Mana
Your ultimate, and a great skill. Use it in team fights to damage opponents and make yourself stronger. You can tank quite a lot with the bonus health and you'll severely weaken your opponents team, giving your team a great advantage. Dont be shy using it when you take too much damage and think you will die. Survival of you and your teammates is always my first priority.
Early game:
Nasus is not a bad early game hero, he can keep opponents away from gold and xp with SF, giving him a lot of lane control. This is a lot harder when you are up against ranged heroes. But when placed good it will give them a hard time farming too.
It is VERY important to last hit with SS, otherwise you will be nothing late game. This is a critical stage in the game for Nasus because of the last hitting. If you can do it well, you'll be able to deal good damage with the skill without even leveling it that much. This is what you want because SF is a skill you have to level.
Mid game:
This is usually the stage where the ganks come in. And when I play Nasus I like to push a lot to give your team a great advantage later on. Nasus is a great pusher, he can wipe out a creep wave with one spell and can damage a tower quickly. SS works on towers, so use it when you're hitting a tower to destroy it quickly. However, all this pushing will atract a lot of attention. Thats why I take cleanse. Its one of the best summoners skills around. You get stunned? Cleanse out and walk away. It will often save your life.
Late game:
This is where your ultimate begins to really shine. Its nice at the beginning but deadly when up against 5 champs. They will take a lot of damage and the chaos will get them to flee, after which you can easily hunt them down. Any champ with good AOE spells is a good team champ, and Nasus excells at this.
I start of with a rejuvenation bead and a fairy charm for good health and mana regen. Use these items to make a Tiamat, which gives you all the minion kills, getting you a lot of money. And money is what you want, because expensive items will follow. Getting a Sheen is a must for Nasus. When you activate SS, Sheen will also be activated, giving your SS an 80% boost. Changing Sheen into Trinity Force makes this boost even better. Trinity is a great item not only for the 130% boost on your SS but also the chance of slowing with your basic attack and Movement speed and Crit Chance will help you out a lot too. When you have Tiamat, Greaves and Trinity its time for some raw damage: Black Cleaver. Hitting enemies with this will reduce their armor even more after taking armor reduction from your SF. A lot of the time they will end up with negative armor, taking increased damage from physical attacks, in stead of reduced damage. After all this armor shredding its time for criticals, and we all know what that means: Infinity Edge. You will end the game with about 40% crit chance. And when you get a critical SS you will be amazed by the damage you deal. With the crit runes you'll deal even more. So you have an attack that deals about 200-250 bonus damage, (depending on how many minions you have been able to farm with SS) 130% bonus damage from the trinity, while critting for 280% your AD. Its like a good nutshot! After the Infinity I usually take Bloodthirster for more lifesteal and AD. I rarely get it because the game doesn't last that long, but its a really nice one for Nasus, giving him 45% lifesteal, making him pretty much invincible 1 on 1. And its really easy to regenerate, just go into the jungle for 10 seconds and come out full health. It's also possible to take banshee's veil if you die too much. It will help you survive and you have a lot of damage output at this point anyway.
This was it, I hope you enjoy it. Have fun.
Any tips or comments are more than welcome.

SimTable key tool for preparing, responding to wildfire
Emergency operations officials need an arsenal of tools to prepare for and fight wildland fires. SimTable is one of those tools. It may look like a plain old sandbox, but with computer simulation programs, SimTable can be used for the following:
- Simulate water drops
- Determine where to cut hand and dozer lines
- Help firefighters plan responses to a fire
- Determine the effectiveness of proposed fuel treatments
- Aid training
SimTable sees movement and objects through a camera and projects them on to a sand table.
Emergency planners can add variables, such as wind speed and direction, angle of sunlight, fuel density, topography and locations of buildings, roads, gas and power lines to model a wildfire, said Manny L'Esperance of Emergency Operations (EM-EO).
"SimTable allows us to much more effectively plan our responses to fires," said L'Esperance.
SimTable is a spinoff of LANL technology commercialized by a Santa Fe company.
